Parietal cell/oncocytic gastric carcinoma: systematic review and first-time assessment of HER2 status in two new cases.

CONCLUSIONS: This systematic review demonstrates that this group of malignancies is very rare but possibly underdiagnosed. The disease commonly presents at early stage, mainly affecting middle-aged men. The prognosis is generally favourable even in cases of advanced disease. The HER2 expression and its correlation with the outcomes need to be further explored.
